We got together in 2005 and have built up a fantastic reputation by gigging hard and being entertaining. We've recorded two CD's, a demo EP and 14 track first album "A Violet Scent of Rose", several tracks have been played by Alan Robson on Metro Radio (cheers Alan!) Come see us - you won't be disappointed! See review below. http://diablonortheast.tripod.com/ http://www.myspace.com/diablonortheast Review: DIABLO - STORMIN' THE CASTLE 2007!: “The band that had the unenviable task of kicking off the proceedings was DIABLO. I have been lucky enough to review them previously and although they play mainly their own stuff, it is just so catchy and welcoming that sometimes you forget that you haven't heard their songs before. Nige took several songs to get into them ‘cos he is a rocker at heart and although I am trying to widen his appreciation of other forms of music it is not an easy task. The only thing he knew about DIABLO was drummer Dave, as all the email contact from the band was from him Along with Dave there is Steve on Bass guitar; Paul on Lead Guitar and Davy on vocals. Well, I say vocals, but this guy is multi-talented and was a superb frontman, vocalist, guitarist and keyboards as well, in fact, at one stage I'm sure I saw him sweeping the stage!! Along with their own stuff, they added “Monster”, “Creep”, “American Idiot”, along with superb compositions which seemed to go down very well and bring in more and more people song by song. I know Nige was especially taken with 'Spit Upon the Ashes' and he was even singing along at one point - and he wasn't even pissed yet! And this is the icing on the cake for me, ‘cos not only are these guys good musicians, they fall into my 'nice' category. Hence it was MY pleasure to have my picture taken with THEM. A really down to earth good bunch of lads. Dave drums joked that could Nige possibly Photoshop the picture to make him look like George Clooney but, d'y'know Dave, in my eyes you are perfect just the way you are. Hey, I know I am overweight and no spring chicken but I enjoy my music, love meeting great people and what I say comes from my heart. I reckon that is better any day than being drop dead gorgeous and an arse. Had a lovely chat with the guys before Nige dragged me off to stuff his face with a massive hot dog? Actually, I fancied a large sausage myself. Dave was telling me that they knew everything was against them playing first on the Friday night, but their spirits were heightened when, song by song, they noticed the tent filling up: 'Val, you don't how good a feeling that was to see crowds coming in."
